CURTAIN-FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 28, 1912. Serial No. 738,998.

' ToaZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER A. Gun- RIE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Monessen, in the county of ll' estmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to curtain fixtures, and the objects of my 'invention are to provide an extensible curtain support that can be advantageously used for holding curtains, draperies, lambrequins and portieres relatively to a window, door or alcove frame, and to provide an extensible curtain pole that presents a neat and attractive appearance in connection with a window frame.

Further objects of my invention are to provide a curtain fixture that can be easily and quickly placed in position to safely support curtains, and to accomplish the above results by a pole consisting of comparatively few parts that are inexpensive to manufacture, and highly efficient for the purposes for which it is intended.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of a curtain pole in accordance with this invention, Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the same, Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on the line III-III of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a similar view taken on the line IV- -IV of Fig. 1. p

A curtain fixture or pole in accordance with this invention is made of light and durable metal in the form of two flat bars 1 and 2, said bars having the outer ends thereof provided, with barrels 3 to fit over angle brackets 4:, carried by angle plates 5,

mounted upon a frame or other support and retained thereon by screws 6 or other fastening means. The angle plates 5 do not mar or injure the front side of a frame and the brackets 4 are of such construction that they can be finished to harmonize with the color scheme or finish of an apartment in which they are used. The inner end of the bar 1 has a hook-shaped guide 7 that projects forwardly and downwardly under said bar to receive the bar 2, which is supported in advance of the bar 1, as shown in Fig. 3. The inner end of the bar 2 has a hook 8 that engages over the upper edge of the bar 1 and supports the inner end of the bar 2 relatively to the bar 1. The bars 1 and 2 are provided with equally spaced transverse opening 9 that have the walls thereof screw threaded to receive screws 10 carried by hooks 11. i The hooks 11 are adapted to support the upper ends of one or more curtains o-r draperies 12.

In some instances the curtains or draperies can be hung over the bars 1 and 2, as shown in Fig. 3.

It is obvious that the pole can be made of various sizes and of different kinds of material.

What I claim is In an extensible curtain fixture, the combination with angle brackets, of fiat metallic bars, said bars having the outer ends thereof provided with barrels adapted to fit upon said brackets, a hook-shaped guide carried by the inner end of one of said bars and adapted to receive the other of said bars, a hook carried by the last mentioned bar and adapted to fit over the edge of the other bar, equally spaced screws detachably mounted in said bars, and hooks carried b 1 said screws.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
